Цель статьи - аргументировать тенденции и возможные направления развития придорожного сервиса как элемента проводимой в России политики пространственного развития, а также факторы, влияющие на его размещение. Проанализированы основные аспекты современного состояния придорожного сервиса как части сферы услуг, а также особенности территориальной организации придорожного сервиса. Аргументировано, что он находится на стыке таких важных и взаимосвязанных видов деятельности как транспорт, торговля, туризм, бытовое и техническое обслуживание, общественное питание. Новизной проведенного исследования можно считать обобщение опыта развития придорожного сектора в России и зарубежных странах, позволившее выявить основные факторы, оказывающие влияние на уровень его развития, а также принципы, которыми необходимо руководствоваться при его размещении. В статье представлены обоснованные показатели, позволяющие оценить существующий и возможный потенциал развития придорожного сервиса на конкретной территории. The purpose of the article is to analyze the trends and possible directions for the development of roadside service as an element of Russia's spatial development policy, as well as factors affecting its placement. The authors investigate the main aspects of the modern state of the roadside service as part of the service sector, as well as the features of the territorial organization of the roadside service. It is argued that it is at the junction of such important and interconnected activities as transport, trade, tourism, household and technical services, public food. The novelty of the study can be considered a generalization of the experience of the development of the roadside sector in Russia and foreign countries, which made it possible to identify the main factors that affect its level of development, as well as the principles that should be guided when placing it. The article presents reasonable indicators that allow you to assess the existing and possible potential for the development of roadside service in a specific territory.

The agenda for palliative care in Africa the coming years is significant, encompassing the need to overcome government indifference and effect high-level policy change, training for its primarily volunteer cadre as well as orthodox preservice and inservice health workers (to include recruitment, training, and retention issues), improving societal and medical understanding and use of opioids for effective pain management, building effective linkages between relevant stakeholders (e.g. academics, oncologists, pediatricians, those working with the aged, etc.), and developing and utilizing a methodologically rigorous research base to inform service development, policy development, and, ultimately, maximize the quality of patients‘ lives.

Communication Disability

Functional approaches to disability measurement in Zambia reveals an overall disability prevalence rate of 13.4%, 4% of whom are recorded as having “speech impairment” (Zambia Federation of the Disabled [ZAFOD], 2006). Further, multidimensional poverty assessments indicate that 48.6% of Zambia's approximately 16 million citizens are impoverished. Currently, there are three internationally qualified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) providing services within Zambia's capital city, Lusaka. Given these statistics, it follows that a significant number of Zambian's, experiencing communication disability, are unable to access specialist assessment and support. Over the past decade, Zambia has seen two very different approaches to address this service gap—firstly, a larger scale top-down approach through the implementation of a formal master's degree program and more recently a smaller scale, bottom-up approach, building the capacity of existing professionals working in the field of communication disability. This article provides an overview of both programs and the context, unique to Zambia, in which they have developed. Authors describe the implementation challenges encountered and program successes leading to a discussion of the weakness and merits to both programs, in an attempt to draw lessons from which future efforts to support communication disability and SLP service development in Majority World contexts may benefit.

Credit Boom

This paper reviews the progress of banking reforms in China. Since 2002, the reform strategy has relied on publicly-financed bailouts, implementation of international best practices in bank governance and regulation, and listing of major banks in Hong Kong. The three largest banks have been stabilised, but we find little reason to expect this to be sustainable. Prudential indicators are comparable to international averages, but this is an outcome of bailouts and ongoing credit boom. Reforms of bank governance and regulatory frameworks that would alter banker’s incentives are implemented in a selective manner; principles that concentrate key powers in the centre are implemented vigorously, whereas those that require independent boards and regulators are ignored. Selectiveness of institutional reform means that the largest banks remain under state control and can be used as means of development policy for the better or the worse.
